5th December - 3 :00 pm - Actual Data of 200 responses received by Team InsideIIM so far of  students who wrote CAT in Slot 1 on 4th Dec, 2016.
CAT 2016 Avg Total Attempted Avg Correct Expected
VA/RC 26 20
DI/LR 14 11
Quant 17 14
Total 56.965 44.545
  Please note that the average user of InsideIIM scores a higher percentile and hence the data is skewed since it talks about better performing students. Also, students who do badly at the test do not normally bother sharing data or filling up forms. With respect to correct expected figure, most students over estimate their own ability.   ----- Everyone in Slot 2 - Register your attempts below so that our analysis is better. You will also be able to aggregate responses after you make your entry below Loading...
8 pm - Slot two analysis is available now here.

SLOT 2 - DI & LR was tough. So was QA. For 99 Percentile,

VA/RC - 68

DI/LR - 54

QA - 57

Total - 160

Slot two analysis is available now here.

5: 25 pm - Slot 1 - Register your attempts and expected correct here if you haven't already. Slot 2 people register in the form below. Live Chat starts here in 30 mins.

Read the entire analysis in detail here.  Source - Vistamind 4:14 pm - First Slot's Detailed Analysis can be read here. 3:17 pm - If one were to compare the difficulty level of CAT 2016 over the last year’s paper, then CAT 2016 would be a shade more difficult (especially the VARC and the Quant section) than the difficulty level of the CAT 2015 paper! 2:05 pm - Vistamind's cutoffs are here. First slot's first cut analysis can be read here Summary of Expected Cut offs (First Cut for First Slot)
Section Total no of Qns Total Marks Cutoff (80%ile) Cutoff (85%ile)

1 : 50 pm - Based on 65 Responses to the form below the current analysis is as follows
CAT 2016 Avg TA Avg Correct Expected Avg Score
VA/RC 26 20 54
DI/LR 14 11 31
Quant 16 13 37
Total 57 45 123
Please note Avg Correct Expected is what the student thinks his/her accuracy level is - it is not an exact measure. In our experience, most students over estimate their abilities and hence you should keep that in mind while analysing the above data. For simplicity we have given negative 1 for all non-MCQs as well in the above data. 1 : 10 pm - Total attempts will go down. Cutoffs will go down. If someone has attempted close to 80 questions overall with good accuracy you are definitely through! 12 : 45 pm - First impressions from our expert ARKS Srinivas. No change in the pattern. Paper MORE DIFFICULT than last year. 12 : 20 pm - All those who write the test in Slot 1 are requested to fill up this form below so that we can help you with more accurate analysis and percentiles. First cutoffs will be out by 3 pm based on data given below
